Battle Red Radio Returns! ...Next Monday

PrintMyself, MDC, and special guest star Morlon Greenwood* will be live from various chairs across America to discuss MDC's passionate love affair with the linebacker and also, supposedly, this "offseason" the kids are talking about.
This thread has many aims. One of them is to solve UprootedTexan's mystery before he even gets to chapter three, but that really requires a lot more reading than I'd like. I'm guessing it has something to do with a butler though, because that's how all mysteries end.
So I guess the real purpose of this thread is to gather questions for this new enterprise as we wait out the start of the next season. Old rules apply: we'll probably discuss this Mario Williams cat and what he's going to do, and you can just visualize the tears down MDC's cheeks as it happens. Especially after I guess that he's going to the Chiefs.
But if you have questions for us, we will do our very best to answer them. Or dismiss them snidely**. Whichever reaction the question warrants.
Monday, February 27th, 9 PM CT. Be there. And send questions.
*-may actually be another BRB staff member that we haven't locked in yet.
**- Questions about how Kareem Jackson is improving, for instance. Or about Matt Turk's potential.

Question
How much Twitter activity crosses a line from “active” to “obsessive”? Does the answer depend on how inane the content of said tweets is?

Oh, and as a follow-up to my previous follow-up
I’ve heard that giggling, cussing, and lack of content makes for a great podcast. Is this true?

Since Wade's gall bladder left in free agency
should the Texans draft another gall bladder in the first round, or wait to see if one drops to them in the second?

Naturally.
Kidding aside, how awesome would it be if that berserk lunatic turns out to be a real LB and lines up beside Cushing?
There would have to be rule changes.

Quoting a close friend of Nash upon learning the circumstances of his death:
He was always a rather stupidly optimistic man. I mean, I’m afraid it came as a great shock to him when he died, but, he was found dead at home. His head had been cut off, and so had his, uh… you know.

what is the one position the Texans absolutely will not address in this years draft
and why might they address it anyway?
I believe they will not address it

Ok, I think I out clever-ed myself
So let me rephrase. What selection (position wise) would shock you the most if the Texans did it in rounds 1-2? For example, it might be very surprising to see us pick a QB. there.
